I don't want to read thru 137 comments, but in case you give up on this one like I did, there are several walk-thrus for it, including one from our friend Jay: http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/09/the_several_journeys_of_reemus_chapter_one.php#walkthrough
Thanks Sword. But here's the deal with me...(be patient, I'm a slow learner). I habitually make it to level 31 (or the 32) - AND then die in the last two waves of monsters. And - I admit to being dumb remember - I can't figure out how to activate/cast the mana spell. I am not even sure what a mana pool is. I got this far without paying attention to the mana spell, or using it, even once. So, please walk this dummy thru it and I'll be your #1 fan.
Nice to know others get stymied at the first gold glow epic level. And have tried everything I have....Simon, can you be more explicit...? WHAT gem specifically steals mana? If you have a step by step example of how to beat this level, it sounds like you'd be a hero if you could/would share it with us!! THANX.
